Oil prices fall as U.S. crude production hits another record

"With unplanned outages escalating, geopolitical risks rising, and US shale production facing infrastructure bottlenecks, Saudi Arabia is once again back in the driver's seat exerting significant influence over the oil market in 2018", Croft, the global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said Thursday.

Adding to their $500bil of losses since 2007.so if all production growth is unprofitable what makes oil prices high??

"To make up for ... losses (from Iran and Venezuela), we estimate that Middle East OPEC countries could increase production in fairly short order by about 1.1 million bpd and there could be more output from Russian Federation on top of the increase already built into our 2019 non-OPEC supply numbers".
